"I used to try to change the world. Now, I leave the room with a little dignity." - A transvestite
First of all. You're not breathing right. Now, relax your ears and sit back on your chair. Now, think of the last time you had an absolute bitch of a day. Yes, now smile and start reading. Don't be afraid to care. What makes me sad is how I've never said what I wanted to say to you. I'm an immensely unbusy person so I have a lot of time to actually divide my charged senses to things most animals would leave out. I feel hypocrites are dead. I haven't met one in a long time. [Oh simple things, where have you gone?] I never feel I'm getting old unless I'm at a party and am in this protective bouncer mood for no good reason. Everytime they play "Summer of 69" at a party, I have right there the worst time of my life. I find it quite sad that people actually "dance" to it. Did someone say the 80's are dead and gone? F*ck no. They're happening in Delhi, my reader.
The best days of one's week are the ones where one is chasing people around, when jeans are hanging low and you keep pulling them up, when your phone's battery is low and you're calling yourself an idiot cause you didnt charge it last night, when you are coughing while trying to get your point across to someone who waits in much eager anticipation to hear you, for once. And then, there are days when the grass looks good, the rain doesnt quite disturb me, the absolute brill of an iance with which thoughts commit and then suicide within the boundaries of one's lovable conscience is what I talk about. I seek. If one meets a new person on a rainy day and if one is me, they'd think they've attained Nirvana or something.
So then, nothings, the one thing a man will never tell you is how intimidated he feels when he looks at a man who's about six inches taller in height and poise. Of course, not every man of 75 inches can cause that sort of effect but most do anyway. I don't wish I was one,two or three inches taller, if I had to be taller , I'd like to be six two. Nothing less. Nothing more. But I'm happy, winced all my life to be taller but by the time I hit 21 and a few months, I realised there's no use wishing/thinking/not growing on something like that. So , here I am happily clad in 69 inches of "harassment is not my forte" of an existence. Sometimes there's such a joy in not being misunderstood cause you(the reader) can be wrong a million times and be right just once.
I don't like the word, "incumbent" and I don't like eating food. I don't like recalling people while smelling fragrances and then telling my friend or company about it. I've done it for so long now that I feel like a like a belittled 22 year old cartman. I weigh 71 kilos and I gym quite frequently. I see this habit dying soon. I had a nightmare the other night, I'd accidentally said yes to a marriage proposal and then had to go through with it. I was really scared because men like me take atleast 30 years to grow up and warm up to what you have for us in this big beautiful world.
I love traveling on airplanes more than I like going for movies, more than I like driving at 5AM, more than listening to music in my car on the way to gym, more than Pearl Jam'ing. Everything seems accentuated on an aircraft (a beautiful big thing) I am the one you're talking of when you say, "The world is so bad nowadays and people are just so fake and false and whatnots" so please don't do it anymore. It hurts me.
I miss you. I miss what could have been and what was not. My time in life will never return, your time in life will never return, I'd like to think that when you're reading this, you succumb to my spidery intentions and have the best time of your day. Whoever you are, I want you to quit chewing gums and bubblegums. It reminds me of..
Stephen Hawking, if you ever read this, I have a message - "Langdey, dimaag mat kharaab kara kar" I think people who think they're spiritual are phony. One of the many things in life I want to do - is to pee on the cast of Rang De Basanti, the long haired tall guy and Aamir Khan mostly and the Bong Marlboro smoker. I learned to laugh at myself when I was 16. I want to read one book a day. I want to give up on food. I want to learn how to dance like Justin Timberlake. Stop saying "Yikes" or "Whoa" or "Huh?" or I'll pinch you.
Gentlemen of the jury and all you boring and dull "party animals", I'm not done, this is my 7th About Me. I will be back and I will sound more laconic the next time. When I don't care as much as I do, right now.
And I love you [Jesus, I'm such a phony] There is in you,as there is in me, a morbid belief in love.

Journal
1. "Never again will a story be told, like it was the only one" - Someone 2. Ricky Fitts[his character, his voice, the eyes] 3. They say that high school never ends (incubus said it). I'm 22 and I have to believe my sorry high school life will stay with me. In more ways than one - the character of Ricky Fitts manages to resuscitate my mood and bring much glory to what I have always believed in. Something that cannot be expressed in mere words. He is the viewers' Tyler Durden (even though American Beauty pisses over FIGHT CLUB) 4. Thomas Newman's Masterpiece (Dead Already, Plastic Bag, Walk home, Any other name...) 5. The movie has no worldly notion, it has no ethics, it has no preachiness, it has no "perfect" characters and there is nothing about it that seems forced/ fabricated/ contrived - With every single viewing of this film - a universal (hate the word) message is delivered. My brain waives a million white flags and I'm gutted with an expression containing much more than just tears. I feel like I've won a war with myself. I feel special and I feel alive. I also feel "Thankful for every moment..." (Lester says that) 6. When Lester recalls his childhood days - that scene in the grass looking at clouds, his cousins' car - - Those scenes have become a part of my life in ways undefined. American Beauty makes death seems like the biggest journey. Or it actually invigorates thought. 7. Every Character in the movie - is easy to relate to. I've been Mena Suvari and in some ways, maybe I still am 8. After watching this movie 8 times, I still think I'm missing out. When one finishes watching AMERICAN BEAUTY, one feels like a celebrity. There is eternal contentment in the screenplay that is transferred to the viewer's psyche. This displays how strong a hold it has on a viewer's brain. 9. No book. No other movie. No one day . No "one" song can do what AMERICAN BEAUTY does. 10. The sense of humor around this film. I mean, what can I possibly say. I still laugh at the party scene when Lester kisses his wife and then talks about how easy it is to forget himself, if he was someone else. 11. The roses on the ceiling, the wanker's delirium (talking about the bed scene) , the radio show about "I will not be a victim" and how A.B takes it, the overwhelming sadness in Jane's eyes, the confidence Ricky exuberates, the bitterness in M.S's loneliness, the cheerleader dance and it's effect on Lester,America's Wildest Home Videos' scene, the two men kissing (funny yet thrilling) 12. Kevin Spacey's voice in the beginning. It makes you want to be nowhere else in the world but in front of your tv/computer screen while you're watching the film again. AMERICAN BEAUTY might be the single most staggering achievement in entertainment by mankind (or humankind, if you're a pretty girl with femina) 13. Now that I've written all this, I actually think my life will never be the same again. Much as the world (or I) may hate Americana, this film is untouchable. Undying respect.
